[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5545426, member: 75065"] Here is a look at a Hybrid Swordmage/Wizard (one of the better hybrid combinations); I haven't built it how I would build my own character, I've tried to give it more of a more Blaster/Defender as you mentioned she was more of a Striker. Hence all the Fire Blaster powers. You could change STR for CON and take Aegis of Assault instead of Aegis of Shielding and take the Geneasi feat that adds STR to your elemental attacks to go even further down the striker line (but I prefer shielding swordmages ...)
